Seismology is used to find out the thickness and structure of a big glacier.

Yes. And there is nothing I can find in the reports of "Totten glacier has been undercut for kilometers by warm currents."

AFAIK seismology can't detect warm currents.

Methinks you are getting your tales twisted. Another misstatement of truth.

Can it detect WARM water under ice?

Show me the magical report that says seismology has found "Totten glacier has been undercut for kilometers by warm currents."

Yes. I think you are trying your Bullshit baffles brains routine again.

All that WARM water. And where did it come from? Suddenly it has morphed to just water under the ice.

Now that would probably cool/cold water under the ice because any heat would be lost, probably miles downstream. Also a CURRENT suggest water flow. In a deadend glacial erosion there won't be any flow.

Now what can cause water to form under the ice? Pressure will do it every time. And glaciers are all about downward pressure.

Time for you to rethink.

Nice to see SN is catching up to stuff I covered weeks ago 

Makes me laugh when the ice age fraudsters talk about “huge rain/hail/snow at [location”] because they are illustrating AGW!

Interesting. But I am not sure how satellites do temperature 2metres above the ground. And re-analysis? Is that going to test the data in remote areas?

But then is is coming on to summer; you would expect some warming.

Yeah, you expect temperatures to warm in spring and not have “Arctic temperatures recovering” coming out of winter. That dopy snake oil seller Dubyne forgot he told his dupes, like Booby here, that the Arctic hadn’t warmed  

But warm air is going to push into the Arctic once again, warming it well over usual temperatures for the time of year.

Water that can cut away at ice can be taken to be warm. Where does the warm water come from? The oceans, Pacific, Indian, South Atlantic. AGW warms these oceans and pulses of warm water get sent down to Antarctica. If you had watched the simulation of ocean currents you would have seen that.

Thanks for the laugh, Lees. Seismology can’t show WARM water, oh dear!  The desperation of Lees!
